Beginner Friendly
US Terminology
Materials:
US H or 5mm Crochet Hook
MC = 60-80 yds #4 ply Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn
CC = 50-70 yds of #4 ply Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn
Abbreviations/Stitches Used:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
rep = repeat
dc = double crochet
MC = Main Color
CC = Contrasting Color
Notes:
ch 3 counts as a dc.
stitch count is a multiple of 3.
Beg Shell and Shell are placed in each ch-1 sp.
If you do not meet Gauge try going up or down a hook size.
If you are using 2 colors, it is best to use the same thicknesses for each color.
There are 2 sizes to choose from, Child Size and Adult consecutively.
Gauge:
US H or 5mm Crochet Hook
16 dc x 8 rows = 4”
Shells: 4 rows = 4”
Gauge Swatch:
R1: ch 19 into the 4th ch from hook, dc across. turn 16 dc
R2-R8: alt ch 2 or ch 3, dc across. turn 16 dc
Special Stitches:
Beg Shell = (ch 3, dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all in same sp
Shell = (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all in same sp
Special Note:
The pattern calls for using the Carrying Colors Method. This allows you to carry your MC and CC up the rows without fastening off.
